Wiremu Katene (died 1 November 1895), also known as Wi Katene, was a New Zealand politician.

In 1872 he became the first Māori to be appointed to the Executive Council, becoming the first indigenous Minister of the Crown. He was also a member of the House of Representatives from 1871 to 1875, and again in 1887.[1]

He died on 1 November 1895.[2]
